Deep fried Bacon!

[Lord Evermore]

If you've never uttered the phrase "nothing burps better than bacon", then feel free to skip this post.

I actually deep fried an entire pound of bacon a little while ago. Tastes pretty good; surprisingly, it tastes less greasy. I've never done it before, and never knew for sure that it was possible. Before this, I'd seen a couple of sub shops where I THOUGHT that's what they were doing with it, but I wasn't sure. So I looked on the net and found recipes where the first step was "deep fry the bacon". :-D

I'm from the South (Florida, but an actual 'southern' part of it, not the immigrated-old-Yankees parts), and I've heard of deep-fried turkeys (in fact working at a hardware store I sold the fryers for it), but I've never had it. I suppose that's the next step in my quest to clog every blood vessel in my body.

Everything tastes better deep fried.

How much for 1lb shipped to Texas?

This guy I knew burned his house down deep frying a turkey. They were dumb. They had the turkey in a deep fryer on the porch kind of under an awning. They left the house to go do something and somehow the deep fryer caught fire, the fire spread to the awning and from the awning to the house.

Go to denny's.. I'm pretty sure that's the only way they cook their bacon because it's easier than actually putting it on a grill and flattening it out. If your bacon is ever all weird twisty and curled, but still cooked all the way through, it's probably deep fried.

Actually my ex-girlfriend's father cooks bacon on a griddle and it gets all twisted up but is still fully cooked and crispy.

And at Denny's, the bacon is always flat (at least all that I've been to, and all the other restaurants I've ever been to), so I doubt they cook it in a deep fryer (although I suppose maybe they could have a little cage thing that closes down to hold the bacon flat during the deep frying; that'd be pretty cool).
